As previously reported here on LISNews [1] last month , Amazon is continuing to insist that all Print On Demand books to be sold on their site, Amazon.com, be printed by their own subsidiary, BookSurge.

Sound monopolistic? Is it. Here's a statement from aother POD company, Author Solutions [2]; here's more on Amazon's decision in Publishers Weekly [3].

To get an idea of the number of POD publishers Amazon's decision will be cutting out, check out John Kremer's Bookmarket list of POD publishers [4]. These people are trying to make a living too.
